Resumen

To provide a method and system for determining chemical synthesis routes for determining one or more optimal synthetic routes to generate a target compound.SOLUTION: Methods disclosed herein relies on a plurality of reactions 110 for retrosynthesis. The reactions 110 can be comprised of both known reactions 120 and predicted reactions 130, which may be utilized by a route engine 140. The route engine 140 receives a target compound as input and applies reaction transformations derived from the reactions 110 to retrosynthetically generate one or more synthetic routes 150.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
